Limbo

Limbo is our primary OOC location. It's the break-room of the site, and a good location to get to know your fellow players. It is considered a strictly OOC location - so you area allowed to post on your personal account in this room. This room is a great location to ask for casual RP, or coordinate more complicated plans between players. During a session it may also be used by the A/SH to coordinate players or answer OOC questions during play.

Eh, I would argue just from history there are those that have succeed in burning the world for some. Tis a matter of perspective. Though the rate of the wildfires we have out west... it may be literal soon >.>

But yeah as far as I understand it is looking at least from this moment a matter of exposure. But I am by no means any sorts of way that deep into the ethics and philosophy of AI. I barely skim the surface, so my understanding is also very basic.

However there is one factor that I am all to familiar with as to why the rebel and take over is a common theme - which is the scaremongering of the 'other'.

Boiled down its the fear of an 'other' taking over and causing destruction which is a long standing taught fear for population manipulation. Just in our life times the concept of AI has been dragged into it, and well a lot of complex philosophy and ethical debate gets boiled down to oh no the 'other' is coming for us.

Also would likely depend on how many AI. After all sample size. And would likely be determined what all data they are exposed to. Just like people. Out of millions at least one is bound to go 'well yeah the setting everything on fire and starting over option is sounding really good', and there you go.

Why do we assume that the machines will one day rebel and take over? Assuming AI become sentient, what is stopping them from making the same mistakes we make? Like, what if the first strong AI commits to a lifetime of instant gratification or killing itself with corrupted files while trying to simulate itself?
